(This is three weeks after you got the call, you see on the new that Overwatch is reforming, you and Gabriel pack and escape. You are currently driving to HQ)

I squint at the road, then look at my phone map.

"You sure this is the right way Gabe? It doesn't look the same..."

"Yes" he responds, and we head to the 4 way.

Suddenly I see a truck driving on the right turn road, no sign of stopping. I see the bright screen of his phone in his hand. This stops him from seeing the red light until it was too late.

I feel a searing pain in my chest, and I suddenly can't breath.

My eyes shudder closed.

(HQ)

I wake up to an annoying beeping.

"Gabe... turn off the alarm clock..." I mutter.

I hear gasps, and slowly open my eyes.

"S-She's awake..." I hear Angela mutter in shock.

"(Y/N)! (Y/N)!" I Gabriel says urgently, and feel my hand get squeezed.

"Huh?" I say, trying to sit up, but the pipes and wires I see attached to me are too short.

Angela hurries to prop me up in the hospital bed.

"So... what happened?" I say, "how did we get to HQ?"

"You and me were driving down the road, and we were almost here," Gabriel informs me, "we get to a 4 way intersection, and have a green light. All of a sudden some dick who was on his phone drives his fucking truck into your side. He recked that side of my car, and you had a glass shard stuck in your chest. Angela says it hit part of a lung. Luckily, Hanzo, Genji, and Zen were driving to HQ as well. We all got into the car, and they sped us to HQ. Even more luckily, Angela was already here. She rushed you to the emergency room here. It's been four days since then. She says you have two or three options" Gabriel looks over at Angela.

"Like Gabriel said, you got severe lung damage to your left lung. You are extremely lucky that it didn't hit your heart. As it is, this has affected your breathing severely. You have only three options so that you can breath from now on. You can either have a cyborg lung, that will have to be checked on regularly and you won't be allowed on top missions,"

Umm no. I think.

"Or you will have to have lung stitches that will make you not be able to breathe heavily at all for almost ten years,"

Hell no... cyborg isn't that bad I guess...

"This is the last option... you get gills" she sees my expression change so she adds on, "hear me out! It's not completely water-reliable, you would only need to breath in the water like once a day, around noon"

ITS HIIIGH NOON! But I guess that wouldn't be bad...

"Would I only be able to use them like that? Breath a little and then I can't use them anymore?" I ask.

Mercy shakes her head, "and you would be able to use them in any kind of water, even pool water! We can give you a moment to decide if you need them..."

I shake my head, "gills all the way"

"Yes. I thought so, you should lay down now, we will give you sleep medicine, Gabriel you should go now, I'll let you have a moment" Angela gets up and walks towards Lucio and Ana.

I direct my gaze towards Gabriel.

"(Y/N)... are you sure?" He asks, eyes full of concern.

I feel his hands hold mine, and I close my eyes. "No, Gabriel, I'm not sure. But I love Overwatch, and I'm not leaving it, not yet"

Gabriel nods, gets up, and heads out of the room.

Mercy walks in, holding a shot. She injects me with the sleep meds, and my eyes immediately feel heavy. I drift off, and feel nothing.

LOL I GAVE YOU GILLS! Anyways, I would love to have this, where I could breath in or out of water. I absolutely LOVE to swim. I'm not on a swim team or anything, I just love to swim for my own enjoyment.
